How to Drink at Donovan Bar with Riccardo Vecchio, London

From life guarding on an Italian beach, to bartending at one of the most iconic bars in London is not a logical career step unless you are Riccardo Vecchio. It was sink or swim and, thankfully for us, he’s safe behind the bar at Brown’s Hotel.

----

Hello everyone - Don't get confused! Before there was Lush Life, there was Best Sips Worldwide, I rebranded after the first season. Although I reference Best Sips – it’s Lush Life through and through – the same great guests, the same music, and the same me!

-----

The famed stained-glass window of St. George stares down at the bartenders from above as if to keep them on their toes. One wrong step and, like the dragon itself, out they go. Riccardo doesn’t have to worry. With the way he is going, he’ll be slaying the dragons soon.

As cool and hip as Terence Donovan’s iconic black and white photos that lines its walls, Riccardo, the Head Bartender, reigns over the Donovan Bar at Brown's Hotel and we are the ones to revel in his wake.

Watch Riccardo conquer Europe here on my Mixology in a Minute Series on Youtube

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
